Yellow 04/02/20 1:41:54 PM #1:	Turns out I have a lot of Steam games, and I actually had the attention span to enjoy some platformers. I swear, there's something having access to the internet does to your brain that makes platformers boring. Turns out my internet did work and my cable is just broken. I recommend it, but I know I could never do it again unless I was forced. Traumatizing. All the things I couldn't just look up on the spot! --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZNqaAh6iLU <cite>Yellow posted [p:936654621] in I spent 24...

Honestly until I read about the broken cable I was expecting a story of how disappointing it is to buy digital and realize you have no access if the internet goes down. What's wrong with platformers though? They're one of my faves. --- https://psnprofiles.com/DPsx7 <cite>DPsx7 posted [p:936664528] in I spent 24...

DeltaBladeX 04/02/20 4:57:24 PM #10:	I once had internet down for a month before the ISP was able to get someone to fix it. That sucked. I still had games, but couldn't play them all the time. Ended up having a nice yell at the company support because they were still quite happy to charge me for that month of no service. --- I'm not lazy, I just don't care http://backloggery.com/DeltaBladeXNZ - https://steamcommunity.com/id/DeltaBladeX <cite>DeltaBladeX posted [p:936665089] in I spent 24...

Yellow 04/02/20 5:04:35 PM #11:	You can keep Steam in offline mode for years (or forever) and still play your games. I have almost all 400 of my games installed. I can't imagine the hassle it would be dealing with 400 CDs. I guess it would be easier seeing how only 20 or so of my games even exist on a CD. Some games have online only DRM... but Steam actually has nothing to do with that. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZNqaAh6iLU <cite>Yellow posted [p:936665461] in I spent 24...

That's kinda like my story. The dreaded day I allowed Steam on my PC was around the same time broadband was new to the area. Outages weren't unexpected, least not to the point I'd have called support. Minutes or hours, not a month. I complained to Valve and the best the F'ers could do was block my account. What service... It was the first time I wasn't 'allowed' to play a game I purchased offline giving me the dislike I have for Steam or digital games in general. Steam seriously got me out of PC gaming. --- https://psnprofiles.com/DPsx7 <cite>DPsx7 posted [p:936666820] in I spent 24...

Your stories are works of fiction though. About how Steam is a literal virus, how they have no offline, etc. No basis in truth.
